Cole dancing

Cole at about age 2 with his first love, Cinderella

He loved all the princesses -- in fact, he had princess face paint!

He was too nervous to talk to her at the character breakfast!

The one souvenir he wanted from Disney -- a princess hat. Here he is after the looooooong car ride home -- asleep with his treasure!

He can barely find words to speak!

Playing dress up with his Ariel costume.

His first time out in public dressed as a girl -- Halloween as Ariel.

His third birthday -- note Ariel wrapping paper!

The Ariel costume.

In Guatemala -- that smile will melt your heart!

The princess cash register he wanted for Christmas when he was three.

Pure Cole -- he took this himself!

With his beloved teacher, Ms. Fischhoff

He even wants to wear pink sparkles when he's hurt (note bandage).

Soccer boy

He convinced Jackson to try on some of my lipstick -- clearly, he has better technique than his brother.

Couldn't find him one night and, after a few minutes of panic, found him sleeping under my bed. 

With a mud beauty mask!

Fourth birthday -- note Ariel paper!

His prize gift -- a Wizard of Waverly Place Alex Wand

Christmas magic

My baseball boy

Getting fairy dust sprinkled on him at Disney -- second visit.

He really wanted a princess hat. 

He will tell you this was the best day of his life. Meeting Ariel -- Disney visit #2.

When they ran out of things to do in our apartment at the hotel when we moved to Kzoo!

At hip hop recital.

With Wrigley, who is most often found growling at him.
